I do not own Avatar: The Last Airbender
The gaang returned to the fir nation palace, which they called home ever sense the Zuko had become the fire lord. Guilty thoughts clouded their minds as they prepared to their journey to Goaling to pay Toph the visit that, they should have years before. The night before they left Aang, Katara, Zuko, Mai, Sokka, Suki, Ty Lee, and Uncle Iroh all sat at dinner sliently mulling over their thoughts when a loud sigh escaped Iroh's lips.
"I cant believe I could've done this to my sweet child, are you sure I could not join you to Goaling?"
"Uncle you know we need you here to watch over everything, along with Mai, Ty Lee, and Suki. We'll try to return quickly as possible." Zuko said giving Iroh an apologetic look.
"With Toph." Added the avatar before standing and excusing himself from dinner. Time passed and other left prepared to go to bed for the night, but Sokka took his time lost in thought, until a hand brought him out of his daze.
"Sokka, honey, you havent touched your food at all?" Suki look into eye as if tryinmg to find out what was bothering him, he had been cold and silent sense he came home from their mission.
"Not hunger, I guess." He mumbled looking up from his plate. Suki gave a nervous laugh and took his hand in hers.
"But your never not hungry." Sokka gave her smile that didn't quit reach his eyes before standing up and heading towards door.
"I need to get some sleep tonight, don't worry about coming to my bed to night." Heat rushed to Suki's cheeks at the rejection, he had never asked her not to come to his bed before. Toph had really upset him, they were quite close before, but she would never had thought it would effect him this much. She pondered these thoughts as she watched Sokka wonder down the hall way to his room.
